2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive In Nurburg Germany - Hooniverse

Our friends at Hooniverse had acccess to a Panamera Turbo Executive at the Nurburgring. They used it well.

The Panamera nudged slightly as we turned into Brünnchen. One of the most noted corner sections of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, it can be described as a bowl of sorts with spectators gathered behind the barriers, having left their enthusiast cars on the gravelly parking lot. Most of the Nürburgring accident videos you see are shot right here, as the rising corner often takes drivers by surprise.
